Synthesis and physico-chemical properties of highly conjugated azo-aromatic systems. 4-(azulen-1-yl)-pyridines with mono- and bis azo-aromatic moieties at C3-position of azulene
Highly conjugated azo-aromatic systems have been prepared in high to moderate yields by linking mono- and bis-azo aromatic fragments to 4-(Rn-azulen-1-yl)-2,6-dimethyl-pyridine. The synthesized pi-extended systems have been studied by NMR spectroscopy, UVeVis and electrochemistry. Systematic increase of the conjugation along the azobenzene skeleton has affected the spectral properties of the azophenyl substituted 4-(azulen-1-yl)-pyridine. The synthesized
